“What do you think are the most common areas of confusion when it comes to spiritual formation?”
In today’s podcast and post, we conclude our series entitled “Fix Your Faith” with a look at ten watershed issues that either stunt our growth and hold us captive, or truly set our lives free.
Join me now as I give you just a taste of these key considerations which I hope will start you into a transformative discovery, and fix your faith.
“Do you think that the bible aligns more with conservative politics or liberal politics? If you feel the answer is very clear, then guess what?…You’ve taken the mark of the Beast.”
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series entitled “Fix Your Faith” with an examination of the authority of politics and the State. Influencers and commentors love to use the Bible for their political end, but don’t be so easily convinced.
Join me now as I show you the persona behind politics and how to you can become free from your slavery to it.
“When I use the title ‘freedom from religion’ do you assume I’m suggesting we leave get rid of these institutions?”
In today’s podcast and post I’ll discuss the next institutional authority that must be subverted if we truly desire freedom in our lives. The only way to fix our faith is to accurately define religion and then become free of its name.
Join me now as I reveal why the religious industrial complex should never have become big business, and why freedom from religion is the only path to reform the Church and restore its power and message.
“If the Biblical Advent goes beyond the nativity story to include John the Baptist “preparing the way,” and that “way” was not through religion, then why do you think people today are so emotionally threatened by John’s invitation to leave the religious industrial complex?
In today’s podcast and post, John the Baptist swings his axe and calls us into God’s kingdom which resides outside of religion in the desert.
Join me now as we deconstruct our emotional dissonance to John’s Gospel, which sounds so wrong when we first hear it.
“As we enter the Advent season, do you think the Nativity Scene best represents of the Advent of the Kingdom of God? Should churches use the Christmas season to attract more people to the Christian religion?
In today’s podcast and post I will reveal that the bible’s revelation of the Advent was an invitation out of religion, and not into it.
Join me now as we examine how John the Baptist inaugurated a Kingdom and a message that was intended to be the end of religion, not the beginning of a new one.
“We’re told that we are in a spiritual battle with our flesh, but does that mean that the goal of spirituality is to transcend our bodies? Or to become a disembodied spirit?
In today’s podcast and post, I add another layer in our discovery of the contemplative life. While it’s necessary and wise to warn people about the propensity for our flesh to lead us into evil, far too many people of faith live in fear of their flesh, and have not discovered the freedom and power of an embodied faith.
Join me now for a course which may be either the most dangerous thing I’ve ever said, or the most liberating thing you’ve ever heard.
“Are you able to see how politics has become the world’s biggest religion, replete with temples, worship services, dogma, devout congregations, influential leaders, and a lot of money?”
In today’s podcast and post, we continue our series in the book of Romans where Paul provides extremely clear instruction for how Christ followers should live politically within their cities…and why almost no Church will teach it.
Join me now as Paul takes away another religion from his audience, leaving them instead with a Christological framework for how to exist in a corrupted world.
“Is there only one way to faith in God? That’s a loaded question, which fundamentalists from every religion are certain they alone possess. But what does the bible say?”
In today’s podcast and post we continue our series in Romans examining Paul’s message to the religious, revealing that they didn’t have the only path to God. It was a scandal then and remains one now.
Join me now as Paul uses the Hebrew scripture to reveal how God has always included all comers into his salvation plan, and how faith frees us from religion.
“What does it mean to be “In Christ.” Popular preachers tell us that it means we have been converted to the Christian religion, or that we belong to the correct Christian church, but Paul has another idea…
In today’s podcast and post we continue in our series in Romans with another section of chapter eight, where Paul makes a distinction about what it means to be “in Christ.”
Join me now as Paul reveals how his Christology can free all comers from the limitations of both Plato and religion.
“Have you ever had a question or doubt about your religion or its view on the world? Have you ever felt oppressed or hurt by your system of faith?
In today’s podcast and post we conclude the second half of our Advent series by discussing how Christ appears to us through what religion calls…unbelief.
Join me now as we see beyond the manipulative power plays that religion hoists upon us and explore how the Gospel never puts us into religion, and instead, the advent of Christ becomes that voice which leads us out.
